Most-quoted passages
The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 11 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Since the Secretary is only obligated to pay for “costs actually incurred,” he may properly recapture claimed depreciation expenses where the value of the assets has not in fact declined. Moreover, attempting to distinguish the effect of actual consumption on an asset’s value from the effects of inflation and market forces “would pose formidable administrative difficulties.” Because of these difficulties, we find it reasonable for the Secretary not ,to refer to inflation or market forces when calculating what depreciation costs a provider has actually incurred.”
